“…In the formal school context, citizenship education is included in the curriculum of Sixiang Pinde (Thought and Character) in junior high school and Sixiang Zhengzhi (Thought and Politics) in senior high school. Before 2003, the curriculum focused on cultivating patriotism, collectivism, and socialism in the young (Liu, 1998;Meyer, 1990). In 2003, moral and citizenship education in Chinese schools was reformed to include the teaching of individualism, consumerism, pro-social behaviors, and humanistic values (Li et al, 2004;Lu & Gao, 2004;Zhu & Liu, 2004).…”

A Beijing-based non-governmental organization (NGO) strives to empower rural Chinese women and migrant girls by increasing their awareness of constitutional rights and promoting their capacities to exercise their civil and political rights. This article reports the NGO leaders' perceptions of the goals, strategies, and challenges in their citizenship endeavor, and analyzes their educational activities in theoretical and cultural contexts. By reporting a tension between the two founding leaders and unpacking the different approaches they take to engaging rural women, we demonstrate how the conceptualization of human rights education in the rural Chinese context is influenced by three approaches to human rights-the Confucian emphasis of rites, the Western tradition of emphasizing law, and the "human functional capacities" approach-and how the implementation process is constrained by China's political framework, the social conditions of rural women, and the NGO leaders' vantage points.

“…Meanwhile, the wide opportunities for moral education in schools at all levels has triggered scholars' systematic research on moral education at the instructional design level (Jie and Desheng, 2004 ). During this period, the curriculum and teaching theory system have been constructed belonging exclusively to moral education (Tai Wei and Lee Chin, 2004 ).…”

“…At this time, the curriculum orientation of moral education was based on the pursuit of personal wellbeing and citizens' moral qualities (Lee and Ho, 2005 ). Many studies have attempted to guide the development of the moral education curriculum based on previous theoretical studies (Jie and Desheng, 2004 ; Richmond and Cummings, 2004 ). The reform of the moral education curriculum has become a new hot spot, as reflected in “curriculum” and other keywords in Figure 4 .…”

IntroductionMoral education is an educational process of the continuation, construction, and transformation of moral and social norms, and is an important guarantee for the sustainable vitality of human morality.MethodsWith bibliometrics applied and VOSviewer and CiteSpace as tools, this paper systematically analyzes 497 articles published in the Social Sciences Citation Index of Web of Science core collection from 2000 to 2022 in the field of moral education research.ResultsBy quantifying specific performance information in the field of moral education in terms of authors, journals, organizations and countries, this paper identifies the highly productive authors and organizations, as well as core journals (i.e., the Journal of Moral Education). A cluster analysis is used to show the knowledge structure, and an evolutionary analysis to present the macro-development trend of moral education.DiscussionIn this paper, the comprehensive description of the research topics on moral education clarifies the development model and disciplinary prospect of the moral education research, and provides theoretical and practical support for the continuous development and application practice of the moral education research.

“…In contemporary Chinese education, moral and political education tend to be taught under one heading, concerning personal behavior in both the private and public world and incorporating ideology, history, and the maintenance of the state (Li, Zhong, & Lin, 2004). The primary purpose of the curriculum is to promote patriotism, collectivism, and socialism (Liu, 1998; Meyer, 1990; Pan, 2013; Qin, 2013; Tan, 2013). Even with the reform in 2003 to include the teaching of individualism, consumerism, pro-social behaviors, and humanistic values, its central theme and the official narratives are still constructed to strengthen secondary students’ trust and loyalty toward the Party and the government (Kennedy et al, 2013; Li et al, 2004; Lu & Gao, 2004; Zhu & Liu, 2004).…”

This article explores how school-aged Chinese youth make meaning of the civic roles of citizens in the context of a society with a powerful one-party government. We examined how 16 focus groups (N = 64) of adolescents from urban and rural schools in Shanghai and Nantong talked about the causes and solutions of social problems facing China. Our analysis revealed a broad range of explanations of social problems, framed by contrasting narratives about the power relationship between the government and citizens. We explore how two narratives, categorized as cynical and compliant, dominated the group discussions in urban and rural schools, respectively, and how a third narrative, categorized as critical, also emerged.
